Climate Change Action

Related Information

Climate Change is important for Banyule City Council and on the 10 December 2018 our Councillors unanimously passed a resolution recognising that urgent action is required across all three levels of government to tackle climate change. We are taking a strong leadership role on behalf of our local community and have established a target of achieving carbon neutrality by 2028.

Specifically, Council has endorsed the following Climate Action Package;

Additional Solar PV across Council buildings and facilities in the 2017/18 and 2018/19 budgets

You can access the resolution under related content. You can also view our annual State of the Environment Report for 2017/18 which details our performance as it relates to the Planet section of our Council Plan.

We are now beginning the analysis work required to identify a pathway to achieving carbon neutrality. This work will be available for viewing late 2019 in a form of a Emissions Reduction Plan. In the meantime, the previous Energy Savings Plan can be viewed in related documents.
